Enter the desired options and click OK to accept the new values. This
returns you to the standard configuration dialogue.
Alarm Configuration Options
LogTag®Analyzer allows up to 6 different alarm trigger conditions
when configuring a UTRID-16 for recording, depending on the model.
Each alarm trigger condition consists of a threshold temperature
value, an activation type (which can be instant, consecutive or
accumulative3) and a delay time, if it is not an instant alarm.
If an alarm trigger condition requires readings to exceed an upper
threshold temperature it is called an upper alarm. If an alarm trigger
condition requires readings to go below lower thresholds it is called a
lower alarm.
An alarm event is generated, when either of the entered alarm
conditions is triggered.
The UTRID-16 can have up to three upper alarms, and up to three
lower alarms.
3
lInstant = one temperature reading is above (below) the threshold
lConsecutive = temperature readings are above (below) the threshold for the
time defined in the activation delay without interruption
lAccumulative = temperature readings are above (below) the threshold for the
total time defined in the activation delay time, but may not necessarily be
sequential.
Figure 4: Alarm ranges and thresholds
Figure 5: Representation in LogTag®Analyzer
You need to observe some basic rules when entering alarm conditions
into the configuration screen in LogTag®Analyzer:
lA primary alarm condition must be entered before the
corresponding secondary alarm condition.
lEqually, primary and secondary alarm conditions must be entered
before the corresponding tertiary alarm condition.
lYou can enter a different number of upper and lower conditions,
or only upper, or only lower conditions, or none at all.
lA secondary upper alarm cannot be entered with a lower
threshold value than the primary upper alarm.
lA tertiary upper alarm cannot be entered with a lower threshold
value than the secondary alarm. Threshold values can, however,
be equal and combined with different time-to-activation values.
For example, you can enter a primary upper alarm with 8°C
threshold and 10 accumulative readings, plus an alarm with 8°C
threshold and 5 consecutive readings. In this instance the alam
will be triggered, if either 10 readings in total are above 8°C, or 5
consecutive readings above 8°C have occurred.
Any alarm condition that is activated will be shown on the PDF, in
the software and on the display.
The sections about Recorders with Multiple Alarms on page1 and
Reviewing Alarms on page12 show examples of how this is
represented and reviewed on the display.
Finalising the configuration
lClick Next to upload the configuration data to the UTRID-16.
lWhen the configuration is complete, unplug the UTRID-16 from
the USB socket and replace the protective cap.
If you wish to configure more UTRID-16 units with the same
configuration, insert the next recorder into the USB socket, wait until
it is ready for configuration and click Again. Alternatively you can use
the Profile function to configure multiple units with the same
settings.
You can upload the configuration to a UTRID-16 recorder as often as
required.

UTRID-16 Start Options
During configuration with LogTag®Analyzer you can decide when
the UTRID-16 starts taking temperature readings.
l... via Push button start: The recorder will start taking
temperature readings after you have gone through a specific start
sequence of pressing and releasing the START/Mark button (see
Starting the Recorder on page1).
l... via Date/Time start : The recorder will start taking
temperature readings at the date and time you specify (local
time).
When you choose the push button start option, you can select to
record pre-start readings or Begin recording after a delay.
lIf you select pre-start readings, the UTRID-16 starts recording as
soon as it is unplugged from the USB port4and will continue to do
so until you start the unit. No alarms are processed while pre-
start readings are being taken, pre-start readings will not appear
in the PDF file, and no PDF file will be generated. Using pre-start
readings is a good way do avoid data loss if you forget to start the
unit, as you can stillaccess the data using LogTag®Analyzer.
lIf you configure the UTRID-16 to start after a delay period, the
recorder will not immediately record temperature readings after
you have pressed START/Mark, but start a countdown timer
instead, and record readings only after the timer has ended. It
will, however, continue to take pre-start readings, if enabled.
You cannot combine a date/time start with pre-start readings or the
start delay function.
4The first pre-start reading is taken one log interval after you unplug the unit from
the USB port.

The symbol is shown as soon as the UTRID-16 has registered an
alarm event. While there are no alarms, the symbol is shown.
Recording indicators
The recording indicators show what data the UTRID-16 is currently
collecting.
lIf the word READY is shown, the UTRID-16 is ready to be
started. Depending on the configuration it may record pre-start
readings.
lIf the symbol is shown, the UTRID-16 is recording
temperatures at the sample interval defined during configuration
with LogTag®Analyzer.
lIf is shown together with the word PAUSED, the product
is also recording, but the recorded values are not taken into
account when calculating alarm events and durations.
If the word STOPPED is shown, the UTRID-16 has finished
recording temperature data.
Mark indicator
The word MARK is shown when the next temperature reading is
identified with an inspection mark in the recorded data.
Clock
The clock display is used to show either
lcurrent time,
ltime remaining to start of a delayed start or
lduration, for example of an alarm.
The display identifies which of those is displayed as follows:
lIf the word DELAY is shown, the time value represents a start
delay, or the time remaining until a date/time start will occur.
lIf the word DURATION is shown, the time value represents the
duration, for example the time above the upper alarm limit.
lIf the word DAYS is shown, the clock represents the number of
days in a delay or duration.
lIf the word HOURS is shown, the clock represents the number
of hours and minutes in a delay or duration. If none of the above 4
words are displayed, the clock shows the current time.
The word bootappears in place of a clock, if new firmware is being
uploaded to the UTRID-16.
The word USb appears when the unit is plugged into a USB port.
MIN/MAX indicator
The word MAX is shown when the temperature on the display
represents the maximum recorded temperature for the current trip.
The word MIN is shown when the temperature on the display
represents the minumum recorded temperature for the current trip.
Alarm Threshold Markers
The upper alarm threshold marker is shown if an alarm event
occurred at one of the upper temperature limits. It is also shown
when one of the upper thrershold values is shown on the review
screen.
The lower alarm threshold marker is shown if an alarm event
occurred at one of the lower temperature limits. It is also shown when
one of the lower threshold values is shown on the review screen.
Temperature Units
Depending on the selected PDF temperature units, this shows either
°F or °C.
Temperature Value
This 4 character, 7-segment display shows the last recorded
temperature while the UTRID-16 is recording readings. Once the
recorder has stopped, nothing will be displayed.
Alarm Arrows
The up-arrow is shown when the temperature displayed is above the
specified upper temperature limit. The down-arrow is shown when
the temperature displayed is below the specified lower temperature
limit.
The four smaller up/down-arrows are secondary and tertiary alarm
symbols. They are used when more than one upper or more than one
lower alarm is defined and are shown then the current temperature is
above or below the corresponding alarm levels.
Battery Low
The battery low symbol will appear if the UTRID-16 has a low
battery. If the symbol is not shown while the display is turned on, the
battery is still OK.

Find Quality Products Online at: [e-mail]

You will receive your UTRID-16 hibernated, i.e. in a state of low
power consumption. Pressing either button will briefly show the time:
Should the battery be low, the display will show:
The following sections show how to operate the product, and what
information you can expect to see on the display.
Configuring the Recorder
Push Button Start
After configuration with LogTag®Analyzer for push button start the
word READY is shown, together with the current time in 24 hour
format.
Optionally you can configure the unit with a start delay, and pre-start
readings. These opotions are not shown on the display.
Date and Time Start
The recorder can also be configured to start at a specific time and
date. You will see the word DELAY and the letters dtSt instead of
the clock.
Pre-start readings and start delay options are not available for a
date/time start.
Low Battery
If the recorder has a low battery after configuration, the low battery
symbol is shown instead of the time.
The recorder cannot be started until the battery has been replaced.
Please see "Appendix 1 - Battery Replacement" on pagei for further
details.
Starting the Recorder
Push button start, quickstart enabled
Press the START/Mark button until READY disappears and the
symbol is shown. The UTRID-16 now records temperature data.
This start option works the same as in LogTag®'s LED products.
Push button start, quickstart disabled
Press and hold the START/Mark button. READY immediately
disappears, and the symbol blinks for 4 seconds. The symbol
then shows permanently for 2 seconds. If you release the button
during this time, the recorder starts taking temperature readings. The
symbol remains shown. If the button is released earlier than 4
seconds or later than 6 seconds, the display shows READY again, and
the recorder does not start.
Push Button Start with Start Delay
If the recorder was configured for push button start with a start delay
(regardless of quickstart settings), the word DELAY is shown instead
of the symbol.
The delay time is shown in hours and minutes, if it is less than 24:00
hours, and the word HOURS is shown.
The time counts down and the UTRID-16 starts recording when it
reaches 0:00.
If the start delay is greater than 24 hours the word DAYS is shown
along with the number of full days remaining.

Operating the Recorder
www.GlobalTestSupply.com
Find Quality Products Online at: [e-mail]

If a user presses the START/Mark button during the start delay
phase, the start delay value is reset to its originally configured value.
Automatic date/time start
If you configured the UTRID-16 for a date/time start, it will record
temperature values as soon as the entered date and time have passed.
If the recorder is still plugged into a USB port when the start time
passes, the recorded readings will show USB Paused on the PDFand
in the software.
During Recording
During normal operation the display shows the most recently recorded
temperature. The current time is also displayed in 24 hour format. A
tick symbol is shown as long as no alarm event has occured.
Temperatures can be shown in Celsius (as above) or Fahrenheit (as
below).
The temperature unit on the display is the same as used for the PDF
and CSV files. It is set during configuration.
Readings above or below alarm thresholds
If the most recently recorded temperature is above or below one of the
alarm thresholds, one or more alarm markers will be shown on the
display.
This symbol is
displayed ...
... when the most recent temperature recorded
is
above the primary upper alarm threshold, but
below the secondary
above the secondary upper alarm threshold, but
below the tertiary
above the tertiary upper alarm threshold
below the primary lower alarm threshold, but
above the secondary
below the secondary lower alarm threshold, but
above the tertiary
below the tertiary lower alarm threshold
The presence of an alarm marker on the display does NOT
indicate an alarm event. It only shows that the most recent
temperature recorded was above or below the corresponding
alarm threshold value, and the alarm was configured with a delay
value.
In this example the most recently recorded temperature is above the
primary high alarm threshold, but below a secondary threshold; an
alarm event has not been triggered:
Here, the temperature was below the secondary alarm threshold, but
above the tertiary threshold; an alarm event has not been triggered:
An alarm event was triggered
If an alarm event occurred, the alarm indicator is displayed in the
upper left corner of the display. Additionally, one of the alarm limit
markers or is displayed, to show if the event was an upper or a
lower alarm.
The alarm marker in this screen does not indicate which
alarm threshold caused the alarm, only that the most recent
temperature recorded, which you see on the display (18.8°C) was
above the secondary threshold.
To identify which of the alarm conditions cause the alarm event
you will need to review the data on screen as described in
Reviewing Alarms on page12, or open the PDF file on your PC.
Clearing an alarm
A UTRID-16 can be configured so you can clear an alarm from the
display. To do this, press and hold the START/Mark button. The
and (or and ) symbols will start to blink.
After approx. 4 seconds both symbols will remain permanently lit for
2 seconds. If you release the button during this time, the alarm will
be cleared. If the button is released earlier than 4 seconds or later
than 6 seconds, the display continues to show and (or and

) symbols. In any case an inspection mark will be recorded against the
next temperature reading taken.
An alarm cannot be cleared once the UTRID-16 has stopped
recording. Alarms resulting from an accumulation of readings can
also not be cleared.
Setting an Inspection Mark
When you press the START/Mark button while the UTRID-16 is
recording temperature, an inspection mark is recorded against the
next temperature reading. The MARK symbol appears and remains
shown until the next reading is taken.
If the Paused Readings function is enabled, you will also see the
PAUSED symbol.
Paused Readings
During configuration of the UTRID-16 you can set the option to ignore
a set number of readings for alarm- and statistics calculations after
either button is pressed. The readings are still shown on the graph
and in the data listing, but their value is ignored when determining
alarm conditions, minimum/maximum values and MKT calculations.
This function is useful when you wish to review readings during the
recorder's operation (or clear an alarm), but you do not wish to trigger
an alarm due to your handling the product. It allows the recorder to
acclimatise to the environmental conditions again, before further
readings are processed.
After a button press the display shows the word PAUSED above the
recording symbol. PAUSED will turn off as soon as the last ignored
reading has been recorded.
Paused readings are marked with a blue dot on the graph, and a $
sign next to the reading in the data list.
The option is set in the advanced options dialogue in LogTag®
Analyzer and is expressed in multiples of the logging interval.
The length of time the recorder shows PAUSED is therefore
dependent on when during the log interval you press one of the
buttons.
Battery Low while recording
If the battery is low while the UTRID-16 is still recording
temperatures, the battery low symbol is shown in addition to any
other currently displayed information.
Stopping the UTRID-16
Automatically
The UTRID-16 automatically stops recording temperature when the
maximum number of readings specified during configuration has been
reached. Your unit can also be set up to stop when it is inserted into a
USB socket. This option needs to be set up at the factory and cannot
be changed during configuration with LogTag®Analyzer. Your
distributor can supply more information about this option.
Manually
You can configure a UTRID-16 so it can be stopped with the STOP
button. This feature is useful when you take the recorder out of a
shipment and don’t want to falsify the statistics with readings taken
after the shipment completion. The stop function is enabled in the
Advanced Options dialogue during configuration.
Press and hold the STOP/Review button. immediately
disappears, and the STOPPED symbol blinks for 4 seconds.
The symbol then shows permanently for 2 seconds. If you release the
button during this time, the recorder stops taking temperature
readings.
If the button is released while STOPPED is still blinking, or you
wait until it disappears, the display shows again, and the
recorder continues recording data. In this case an inspection mark
will be recorded in the data against the next temperature reading.
The MARK symbol will show, and the PAUSED symbol also shows
if this feature is enabled.
Recorder has stopped
Once the recorder has stopped, the display will show:
lThe STOPPED symbol
lThe OK indicator ( )if no alarm was recorded
lThe alarm ( )and one or both alarm threshold( ) indicators,
if an alarm was recorded during the trip
lThe current time
lThe battery low symbol ( ), if the battery is low.

The recorder has stopped, and no alarms were recorded during the
trip.
Here, the recorder has stopped, and an upper alarm was recorded
during the trip.
Reviewing Alarms
At any time you can review the recorded statistics by briefly pressing
the STOP/Review button. You can do this while the recorder is
still taking temperature readings, or when it has already stopped, but
not when it is plugged into a USB port.
After each subsequent press of STOP/Review the next review
screen is shown. The number of screens available for review depends
on the number of configured alarms, and whether or not the alarm
review screens have been enabled. If no alarms are configured, or the
alarm review screens are disabled, only the MIN and MAX screens
appear. If 6 alarms are configured and the alarm review screens are
enabled (which is the maximum), 8 screens will appear.
You can terminate the review at any time by pressing
START/Mark, or by waiting 30 seconds without pressing any
button.

On first press of STOP/Review the Maximum Reading screen
appears.
The clock disappears, and the MAX symbol is shown along with the
maximum temperature recorded. If this temperature was above or
below one of the alarm thresholds, the corresponding alarm marker is
also shown. Here, the maximum was above the primary threshold.
When you press STOP/Review again, the Minimum Reading
screen appears.
If this temperature was above or below one of the alarm thresholds,
the corresponding alarm marker is also shown. Here, the minimum
was below the tertiary threshold.
If the alarm review screens are enabled, the next screens show the
enabled alarm threshold values in descending order, starting with the
upper most alarm threshold. Up to six screens will be shown,
depending on how many alarms were enabled during configuration.
The Minimum Reading screen is shown after the primary upper and
before the primary lower alarm screen.

by the alarm threshold marker shown in combination with
the two small alarm arrows. The DURATION symbol is
shown, and the clock shows the total number of hours and
minutes above the threshold, instead of the time.

Plugging the UTRID-16 into a USB port
As soon as you plug the UTRID-16 into a USB port, the word USb
appears and remains permanently on until all files have been
generated.
When complete, USb starts blinking once per second.
What happens on your computer depends on the operating system of
the computer, the settings made during configuration and whether or
not LogTag®Analyzer is running.
Microsoft Windows
Up to four drivers will now be installed, depending on the UTRID-16's
configuration.
All drivers are part of the operating system and will typically not
require administrator privileges for your computer.
1. Mass Storage Device
2. LogTag Mass Storage USB Device
These two devices are required so you can access the data files
in the same way as a USB memory stick. These drivers will
not be installed if the UTRID-16 does not generate files.
3. USB Input Device (HID)
This device is used for communication to LogTag®Analyzer
and its driver will always be installed, even if LogTag®
Analyzer is not present on the computer.
4. USB Composite Device

If you have configured the UTRID-16 to generate files, these will be
created every time you plug the recorder into the USB port.
Once finished, USb will blink every second to indicate these files can
now be accessed.
a new drive or mounted device will appear. The device name will be
created from the serial number of the UTRID-16.
configuration.
While a UTRID-16 is plugged into USB, no temperature readings
are taken. The graph will display a gap and the data list will
show --- followed by the #symbol. This also applies when the
recorder is connected to a USB power supply.
Accessing the files
If the recorder was configured to generated files, a new drive or
mounted device will appear. The device name will be created from
the serial number of the UTRID-16. You can access the files by
browsing to the newly created drive and double-clicking the PDF,
CSV or LTD files. For PDF files you need Adobe Acrobat Reader or a
similar PDF viewer. To open the LTD file you need to install the free
LogTag®Analyzer software. CSV files can be opened with a text
editor, or imported into a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft
ExcelTM.
The file names contain information about the recorded data, which is
detailed in the section about Interpreting the Data on page1. If a
recorder has only taken pre-start readings, PDF and CSV files will not
be created.
You should copy the files generated by the recorder to a
permanent storage location on your computer, such as the
Documents folder, as they are not automatically copied.
The data on the unit is retained, and each time you plug the
UTRID-16 back into the computer the files are re-generated,
albeit with a new file name. Once the battery is exhausted,
however, the real time clock on the unit stops and dates and
times may no longer be accurate.

Alarm Status
This shows at a glance if the UTRID-16 recorded alarm conditions
during the trip (showing a red
✖
) or if no alarms were recorded
(green
✔
).
File Information
This section shows general information about the PDF file, such as
generation time, date and time formats and the file name, which is
compiled from information about the data it contains:
LogTag_[serial_number]_[trip number]_[file creation date]_file creation time]_[OK or ALM].
Recorder Information and Configuration
On recorders with multiple alarms these sections are combined and
show general information such as serial and model numbers, trip
number, battery status and description. It shows how the recorder
was started, if a start delay was active and the interval used for taking
readings.
High Alarm and Low Alarm Information
These two sections summarize the alarm occurences during the trip,
includingstatistical data.
Recorded Data Chart
The chart shows a graphical representation of the data during the
trip. As part of the UTRID-16 configuration process you set the
parameters that influence how the chart is presented.
Markers
The chart will show marks where the UTRID-16 has been downloaded
(º) or where an inspection mark has been placed with the
START/Mark or STOP button (•). It also shows Paused marks
(•) where a button press has prevented readings from being used for
statistics and alarm calculations.
USB Paused Readings
A gap is shown in the graph where the UTRID-16 was plugged into a
USB port at the time it would otherwise have taken a reading.
High Alarm and Low Alarm Information
These two sections summarize the alarm occurences during the trip,
includingstatistical data. You may see up to 5 alarms for each
direction, depending on configuration and zoom settings.
Upper Threshold values
The upper alarm thresholds are shown with red dashed lines ---- so
you can see at a glance where temperatures went above set limits.
You may see up to three lines depending on configuration and zoom
settings.
Lower Threshold values
The lower alarm thresholds are shown with blue dashed lines ---- so
you can see at a glance where temperatures went below set limits.
You may see up to three lines depending on configuration and zoom
settings.

Tips and Tricks
Configuration
When configuring a USB recorder, allow enough time for the unit to
acclimatise to the target environment, particularly if you have
configured an upper alarm. This can be best achieved with a start
delay, or a date/time start if you know when the shipment takes
place.
Make sure you remove your UTRID-16 from the USB socket when you
use a date/time start, so it starts at the time you want, rather than
when unplugged from the port.
During the trip
Always replace the USB protective cap before placing the UTRID-16
with the goods. While recording, make sure the UTRID-16's protective
cap is facing down. The protection rating can only be achieved when
used in this orientation. For applications requiring a higher IP rating
the unit should be used in the protective case, available as an
accessory.
